Chapter 3

Tang Yirou twisted her sore neck on the bed, looking at the cat in the cage, she really envied the cat, she envied to the willingness to become this cat, even if it has to stay in the garbage for a few years, there is always a bitter and sweet, a lot of people do not have this luck in their lives, the bitter is always in the eating, sweet in the dream only to come.

Du Yanlan had fallen asleep with her back to her, Tang Yirou said to sell the cat she was very angry, she said: “I picked up the cat! Who are you to sell it! I forbid you to sell it!”

Tang Yirou said, “Did you raise the cat you found? Did you pay for it? You're just being kind.”

Du Yanlan cried, her best is to cry, Tang Yirou has long been immune to her this trick.

Tang Yirou told her, “It's useless for you to cry, this cat is sold, 10,000 yuan, you can pay three months' rent, higher than my one-month salary, a wild cat without money, someone to buy you do not sell? Are you out of your mind?”

Du Yanlan looked at her with eyes like a sinner.

Tang Yirou said, “You don't have to worry, the person who bought it has money, this cat will definitely be better off than you and me, living in a big house that we can't afford to live in our whole life, it's too lucky to be destined to be our cat.”

Du Yanlan cried for half a day, at first she cried for the cat, then she cried for herself.

Tang Yirou ignored her, Du Yanlan tired of crying enough to take out the basin from under the bed, poured hot water to the toilet to wash up, and then went to bed by herself, rolled over and turned toward the wall, did not look at Tang Yirou, and did not look at the cat.

Tang Yirou got down from the bed, the cat was lying in the cage, it squinted, I don't know if it was dreaming something beautiful.

Tang Yirou said, “In the future, you'll have imported cat food to eat, Liang Shibai will definitely buy you the best cat's nest, you don't have to sleep in a cage anymore, and there's someone special to take care of you.” She gently tapped the cat's head with her finger and smiled, “You have to thank me.”

The cat didn't open its eyes, it had a good night's sleep.

Tang Yirou brought the cat to the company again the next day, she went to the thirteenth floor to find Liang Shibai, saying that she had already discussed it with her mom.

“The cat can be sold, since you like it so much, Mr. Liang.”

Liang Shibai took the cat cage and put it at his feet, and thanked her with a little apology, Tang Yirou was not doing a good deed for nothing, she felt that Liang Shibai was too polite, she was at a loss for words, she could only laugh, and she couldn't laugh too much yet.

After Liang Shibai transferred the money to her in person, Tang Yirou had no reason to stay any longer, she excused herself and went downstairs to continue to work.

When she came down from the 13th floor, Tang Yirou had a feeling of extreme loss, as if she had woken up from a warm and soft dream. She stepped out of the elevator, and the building was heated, but she was still freezing, her pores opened up and closed up tightly, and she looked at the front desk, where her female colleague stood, looking over at her, and then lowering her head again.

Tang Yirou smiled as usual and walked towards her.

When she got off work, it was still raining outside, and the thin rain was like a piece of silk net in front of her eyes, and Tang Yirou wanted to avoid the net, and she suddenly didn't want to go to the bus today.

There is a pavilion in the small park near the company, Tang Yirou walked to the pavilion, put away the umbrella, called a car, the car is a few hundred meters away from her, Tang Yirou sat down, at ease, waiting.

The net is getting denser and denser, as if no space is left for people to breathe.

Tang Yirou stood up, inexplicably anxious up, a touch of orange slowly approaching from a distance, is a cleaner, wearing an orange vest, wearing a hat, carrying a black plastic bag in his hand, the rain dripped down from the brim of his hat, the plastic bag in his hand was washed by the rain to put light.

He walked into the pavilion, Tang Yirou see is a black thin old man, the old man did not look at Tang Yirou, did not sit down, only stood there looking at the rain, looked for a moment, he suddenly opened the plastic bag, from the inside to touch out a small hoe, Tang Yirou backward again a step, she was one step short of the outside of the pavilion.

The old man took the hoe, walked to the outside of the pavilion, squatted down, not caring about the rain falling on his body, took the hoe and dug up in the flower bed.

Tang Yirou couldn't help but take a look, the old man had already dug up a small pile of soil.

He didn't seem to be digging something, he was digging a pit to bury something.

Tang Yirou saw him put down the hoe and lift the plastic bag in his hand, mouth towards the bottom, and shake it.

A dead cat rolled down.

Tang Yirou may have screamed, she didn't realize it herself, the cat's tongue fell out of its mouth, its eyes bulged out, its hair clumps tangled, its death was hideous.

The old man looked back at her and said, “What are you afraid of, it's dead!”

“Dead how?”

Tang Yirou didn't know why she was asking.

The old man filled the soil while answering: “was poisoned to death, the day is cold, the cat can not find food, people call over, give anything to eat, died, died a few, those people have a problem, the cat did not mess with the people, have to be poisoned to death, today poisoned the cat tomorrow will be poisoned, now ah, do people do cats are not good, the people can not live, the cat can not live, are dead forget it, buried into the earth can do fertilizer, there is a bit of use. It can be used as fertilizer.”

After the old man finished filling the soil, he took the hoe and patted the soil a few times to flatten it, then took his foot and stepped on it, and then took the empty plastic bag and left.

Tang Yirou stood alone in the pavilion looking at the flowerbed where the dead cat was buried, and she walked over to it ghostly.

I don't know if it was her psychology or what, but she felt that the two plum blossoms in this flowerbed were indeed more colorful than the ones in the other flowerbeds, so colorful that they had lost their awe-inspiring aura.

Tang Yirou didn't dare to look at them after one glance, and she was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of something scattered on the white tiles of the flower bed.

At first glance it looked like grains of earth, Tang Yirou lowered her head to take a closer look for a few moments, then reached out and picked up a grain.

She hesitated for a moment and put it in front of her nose to smell it.

Tang Yirou inhaled, she smelled rain mixed with dirt, and underneath there was a faint smell of fish.

She looked at this cat food in her hand, guessing that it was the old man who had just shaken it out of the plastic bag and dropped it out of the dead cat's mouth.

Tang Yirou violently threw the cat food away, the more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt, and in a panic, she took out a paper towel from her bag and repeatedly wiped her fingers that had just touched the cat food.

She looked at her hand, there was nothing on it, but she still had a foreign body sensation, as if there was something stuck to her hand, she rubbed her fingers, and her heart fluttered.

She couldn't help but look at the dirt again, the extraordinarily flat dirt, and she knew something was buried underneath.

Maybe she knew something else.

“Tick!” A long car beep sounded.

Tang Yirou was startled, and looking back, she saw a car parked not far in front of the pavilion, its headlights flickering, illuminating the prototype of the net.

Tang Yirou ran out, the umbrella in her hand lurching with her footsteps, the rain drifting down onto her face, freezing as she began to tremble.

She got into the car and slammed the door with a bang, the raindrops that had gathered on the top of the window were shaken off quite a bit by her.

The warmth in the car made her stop shivering, and as the driver started the car, Tang Yirou glanced at the plum blossoms in the flower beds, and there seemed to be a couple of cats sitting underneath the trees.
